The story
SM Seaside City, also known locally as SM Seaside and formerly but still officially known on exterior signage as SM Seaside City Cebu, is a large shopping mall owned and developed by SM Prime Holdings in South Road Properties, Cebu City, Philippines. The mall opened on November 27, 2015, exactly 22 years after SM City Cebu, another mall also owned by SM Prime in Cebu City, opened in 1993.
As of 2025, it is the largest mall in Cebu, the fourth largest shopping mall in the Philippines and the nineteenth in the world, with a gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 407,000 square meters. SM Seaside is SM Prime Holdings' third mall in Metro Cebu and its 56th mall in the Philippines. The mall is designed by Arquitectonica, the same company which designed other SM Supermalls, such as SM North EDSA, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Megamall.
